Chapter 10 Religion

November 24, 2040

Charlie is in the control room of the Nome military base, looking out the observation window. As he's looking at the horizon, one of his soldiers approaches him, a look of curiosity on his face. He looks at Charlie and asks, "Sir, I umm, have a, umm, question, sir." Charlie turns around and looks at the soldier. "What is it?" The soldier starts to fidget. "I would like to know more about, you know, our religion, if that's okay with you, sir?" Charlie smiles at him. "Of course it is. What would you like to know?" The soldier looks at him and smiles. "Why, I want to know everything."

When the dogs rose to power, all the commanders were present at the Altar of the Greats. As they prayed that the humans would stop trying to start a war, a figure emerged from the light and stood before them. The figure was a pink and purple whippet. The commanders just watched as the figure looked at them and smiled. "Why do you not see the truth? Why do you keep fighting the humans? Why can't you dogs try to, instead of destroying the humans every time they do something, try to do something different?" The commanders look at each and had faces like they were in trouble. Charlie decided to be brave and ask the specter some questions. "What's your name?" The whippet looks at him and smiles. "My name is Annabelle." Charlie then nods his head. "Okay Annabelle, what the hell are you?" Annabelle smiles again. "Why, I'm an angel." The commanders' mouths dropped. Annabelle knew that the commanders wanted to end the war any way they could, even if it meant annihilating the whole human race. She looked at them and frowned. "You want an end to your little war! Here is an end: Stop acting like every little thing the humans do is a major thing. You're wasting time fighting a battle that has already been fought. So far, all I've seen you do is repeat history." Balto looks at her with confusion. "What do you mean a repeat of history?" Annabelle glares at Balto. "So far, you are just like the Nazis. Everything you've done is the same thing the Nazis have done. Instead of a race, you've done it to a species. I thought all dogs were loyal and kind. You've just proven me wrong." The officers look at each other before looking at the angel again. Juan decides to speak for the group. "What would you have us do?" Annabelle smiles the biggest smile ever. "I want you to find a quick way to end this war. Understood?" The officers nod their heads in unison. Charlie then speaks up. "Then when we do this task, you'll let us into Heaven, right?" Annabelle laughs at him. "Charlie, even though I'm angry with you guys, I would never forbid you from Heaven. After all, all dogs go to heaven of course."

The soldier looks at Charlie and smiles. "Thank you for helping me. I just wanted to know more about it, that's all." Charlie looks at the soldier and laughs. "Hey, it was my pleasure. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me any time." The soldier nods his head and leaves. Charlie returns his vision to the observation window again. Soon after, a scout runs in and looks at Charlie, fear evident in his face. "Sir, B-Balto has g-gone missing, Sir." Charlie twists around and a look of concern appears on his face. "What do you mean he's gone?" The scout retreats backward for fear that Charlie might beat him. "Sir, he was heading b-back to the m-m-military base, sir, right before we lost contact with him. Sir, if he's still alive, we need to find him quickly, before the weather kills him." Charlie nods his head and leaves the room to find some members of his own Search and Rescue team.

A/N This chapter will be without a doubt reedited. I just thought of something to type and it came out weird. Anyway, R&R.

P.S. If I get a review(or someone else makes this story their favorite as well) I will start posting chapters 11-20 up, just not at the same time. Don't want any icomplete chapters. So, go ahead and critique this story. Don't worry, I can take the heat XD
